Her kisses defeat the Inanimate Things May Have “It” Says Director (Current Reader) Modernistic design of architecture, interior decoration and furniture has more “it’? than any other style of architecture, according to William A. Seiter, noted movie director, who filmed “Kiss Me Again” now at the nha eats Theatre. “Tt” simply means personality, and a great part of personality consists in how a person is set off by clothes, surroundings, or background. “A woman bathing in muddy unattractive stream presents an entirely different appeal to the senses than, say, the same woman bathing in a “Legion? gallant officer forgets about Ah — those kisses — no wonder they call for an encore... no wonder the his fiancee . . . no wonder Fifi’s the most popular girl in all Paris . . . no wonder hundreds of Strand patrons return to see “Kiss Me Again” again and again!

Roman marble bath, in a setting designed by a French Renaissance painter, or by the sea against a gorgeous sunset. “Kach study made by an artist would give a different personality. And the result would be even more different in a modernistic bathroom of today! “Modernism, the art of simplification of line and color to create atmosphere or a mood, makes personality or what we call “it” stand out as nothing before in the history of art has done.” The sets of this gay Victor Herbert romance, “Kiss Me Again,” were designed by Anton Grot, one of the greatest modernists, and represent the last word in creative art. Bernice Claire, Walter Pidgeon, Edward Everett Horton, and June Collyer are among those in the cast. **Kiss Me Again” Begins Its Magic Strain Tomorrow Cut No. 7 Cut 80c Mat 20c. ec_—"_ewouNwawwaNejN{273e——wawoa=@s@a@a“@sawasaaqoaooaoeoeoeeeomomoq=~q~q~q~$q$” A love ss " Music by Victor Herbert.

Perchance ’twas a passion too wondrous to last, But I dream of it yet! I see you again, as you gazed in my eyes With joy all alight! So fondly you'd fold me as softly you told me Of Love through the sprinkled night. Star CHORUS Sweet summer breeze whispering trees, Stars shining softly above; Roses in bloom, wafted perfume. Sleepy birds dreaming of love. Safe in your arms, far from alarms, Daylight shall come but in vain. Tenderly pressed close to your breast, Kiss me! Kiss me again! Riot of Comedians In ‘Kiss Me Again’’ (Advance News) The comedy possibilities of “Kiss Me Again,” screen version of “Mlle. Modiste,” Victor Herbert’s famous musical romance which comes to the Theatre on as a Vitaphone and Technicolor special may be guessed at by the fact that four of Hollywood’s highest paid comedians appear in the produetion. The cast includes Edward Everett Horton, Frank. McHugh, Claude Gillingwater, and Albert Gran. Horton is most recently remem bered for his work in “The Hottentot,” “The Sap,” and “The Aviator.” Frank McHugh is one-of the comedy sensations of the talkies, and has been seen as “Fish,” the drunken reporter in “Bright Lights,” in “The Dawn Patrol,” and in “Top Speed,” where he vies honors with Joe E. Brown. Claude Gillingwater is a noted “grouch” character comedian, and played the rich uncle in “So Long Letty” and the father in “Tllieit.” Albert Gran has-a seore of comedy characterizations to hig credit, the most notable being that of the French taxi driver in “Seventh Heaven” and the sugar daddy in “Gold Diggers of Broadway.” Bernice Claire and Walter Pidgeon head the cast of “Kiss Me Again.” Others are June Collyer and Judith Voselli. William A. Seiter directed. “KISS ME AGAIN” DISCARDS SNAPPY _ FASHIONS OF PAST (Current Feature) In the” realm “of ‘women, the stylish consists of the new. And for that reason “Kiss Me Again,” from the famous Victor Herbert romance which First National is presenting as a Technicolor and Vitaphone special at the ......., Theatre, is modern down to the last minute of current fashion. If it were filmed in the period in which Victor Herbert originally wrote it—about 1905—it would have: The patrons arriving at the modiste shop in Paris by carriage instead of by Rolls-Royce. . Wasp waists and high bulging bosoms displayed by the mannequins, instead of loose evening gowns and informal pajamas. Not an ankle showing—instead of a colorful display of beautifully shaped legs, And legs would never be referred to in the dialogue—they would be “limbs” if mentioned at all. Ladies’ unmentionables would only be displayed to the. women in private—no man would be so immodest as to sit in a modiste shop and look a filmy silk something or other in the face. The latest fashions in corsets would be shown. And ruffled silk petticoats, coming down ankle length, would be exceedingly smart. Long tresses, with pompadours, would prevail. A woman with bobbed hair would be considered an unsexed mannish freak. The radio scene would have to be left out. And the French soldiers would appear in baggy red trousers and dark blue coats instead of in the snappy horizon blue of present times. A “perfect 36” would still be considered the proper build for a woman, and sports wear for women would be unknown. High shoes instead of slippers would be the thing, and silk stockings not so vital because a run in them would never, never be seen by masculine eyes—that is, by proper masculine eyes. All of which may lead the spectator to be thankful that First National filmed this gorgeous produetion in strict 1930 style and smartness.
